Sabine :-)

People who smile and that want to live are often forgotten. I will not forget them or at least I try.

Some years ago I met a cheerful girl that I do not forget .

Sabine lived in an institut for MR: a girl a little rough in manner, but also so kind and caring, with a tremendous urge to smile and live.

Why was she in that place and not at home to live her normal life? Well, some judgment of someone or just a coincidence, perhaps .

An ordinary girl that perhaps had some difficulties, but those that anybody has. There are those who can not understand math, those who are not athletic and can not jump or twirl, who is not able to learn languages but he would like it. Sabine was misjudged simply with some mental retardation.

Actually, that nice girl could do a lot of things,she was independent and active . So what was her problem?
Her problem, I mean what she suffered the most , she was not seen by those who she loved most.

Every morning she got up, she took bath and dressed by herself, she helped her roommates with less capacity of her, she smiled and went to breakfast.

She liked to help in daily duty and to have a chat with the staff. She loved then going outside or doing some work at the institut, always smiling .

She often came to me to hug me or do those tricks like to tickle ear or do some funny joke .She did not differentiate among her fellowship ” MR” and “normal” : she cared to live,to smile!
There was a case only when she darkened: when a letter came from her family telling her that they would not come to visit her.

It was the moment when her tears flowed with a bit of anger( not aggressive anger) came out: that feeling of abandonment by the people most important to her.

Sabine, a positive and hidden sun , was a joy for me and for those around her .

But people often are valued for how they appear or what they do , not for what they are.

WHAT’S MORE IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE THAN TO BE ABLE TO SMILE AND LIVE?

Sabine knows how to do , this post is my thank to her to exist.It’s my way to give her the importance she deserves .
